William v. State

Facts:

The matter involved two separate appeals consolidated for oral arguments. The first appeal was taken by defendant from an order of the Circuit Court in Baltimore (Maryland) denying his motion to dismiss, on grounds of double jeopardy, charges of driving while intoxicated (DWI) and driving while under the influence of alcohol (DUI). The second appeal was taken by the State from a subsequent order dismissing those two charges.

Holdings:

The Maryland Court made the following holding:

• Negligent driving is a lesser included offense within the greater offense of manslaughter by automobile. Negligent driving is also a lesser included offense within the greater offense of homicide by motor vehicle while intoxicated.
• A trial court has jurisdiction for purposes of double jeopardy when it has jurisdiction over the subject matter and the person of the defendant. For double jeopardy to have effect the action which bars a second prosecution must be one instituted in a court which has the power to convict and punish the person prosecuted for his criminal conduct.
